Welfare - As enacted, makes various changes to law relative to respite care services, including, but not limited to, increasing the number of hours an adult may attend a limited respite care services program from 12 to 16 hours in any one week, and authorizing such a program to provide care services for up to 20 adults at the same time, rather than 15. - Amends TCA Title 71, Chapter 2.

SB 1581 amends Tennessee law to increase the maximum weekly hours adult day services can provide (from 12 to 16 hours) and the maximum number of adults they can serve simultaneously (from 15 to 20) while still qualifying for a licensing exemption. This directly affects adult day care centers in Tennessee that currently operate under the old limits but wish to expand services without full state licensing. The bill updates two specific sections of Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 71, Chapter 2 (sections 71-2-402(c)(2)(A)(iii) and 71-2-402(c)(2)(D)), raising these numerical thresholds. The policy change allows more centers to maintain exemption status while increasing service capacity.
